I love and adore my family — of course!! And will my miss our new addition to the fam — Chaz (a boxer mix!), but I’m soooo excited to be heading to Amish country with my critique partners for a few days.

It’s been a year since our last “writers’ retreat” and we loved the place and the experience so much we couldn’t wait to try it again. Yes, four women in a room out in the middle of nowhere may sound a little crazy — and even claustrophobic or agoraphobic, however you want to look at it. But we truly got a lot of writing done the last time. And snacking. And napping. And yakking. But mostly writing and more writing — with no laundry, meal preps or to-do lists! YAY! See you when we return! Happy weekend!
